We walk along side Lake Burley Griffin. Lots of Sunday strollers on the pathway around the lake.
We then proceed to Anzac Park which heads to the War Memorial.
This is called the Anzac Parade. On both sides there are memorials representing different battles.
Australian Service Nurses National Memorial
Australian Royal Navy
Boer War....these were so realistic.
Poppy memorial...while viewing this a young person’s voice could be heard reading a person’s name and age that had died in war.
Such an amazing memorial. I haven’t seen anything this well done ever! We spent a couple of hours here and it barely scratched the surface. We were told they had warehouses of artifacts....96%...only 4% was used in the museum and it was so much it was incredible. They had models of famous battles done with so much detail.
We go for a quick lunch and then the long walk back to our hotel.
I have to say I love the trees in Australia...especially the eucalyptus or gum trees. Their trunks vary in colours and patterns.
Bark comes off and grows back at different times and speeds therefore giving the trees a very unique look.
